30 Jun 2013

The East Midlands Festival of Transport, including Classic Cars & Bikes plus Classic & Performance Japanese and Fords

Sunday 30th June 2013, 10AM – 4PM

Following the success of our Notts classic vehicle show in early May when over 1200 classic vehicles and 5,000 visitors enjoyed a fabulous day out in the sunshine we are delighted to announce that we will be returning to the venue on the last Sunday in June. Joining the classic cars and bikes on the showground field will be an excellent selection of classic and performance Japanese and Ford cars. This show gives the public and fellow motor enthusiasts the opportunity to walk in and amongst the car displays and get up close to some stunning vehicles. There will also be a concours competition taking place throughout the day, with live commentary and prizes for the winners. As always there will be catering options in the show area plus a cafe and gift shop in the courtyard.

This is a great day out for all the family and we hope to see you there.

Hi Simon,

 

Sounds a bit like the meet we had at the Heritage Museum - six cars, lets hope we can follow suit and multiply that by five for next year.

 

You'll have to post some phots of the Classic Car show and let everyone know what they're missing.

 

Best regards,

Dave

Hi Simon,

 

That was all happening in the last forum I belonged to, "406 Coupe Owners Club", it was a lot more active compared to this club, lots of chat, lots of posts and meets.  Due to the number of meets it had its own section  which included the after meet phots and comments - as  you say peeps saying what a good day was had by all.  Yes the weather helps but we are in the UK.  The pub meet is alway a good one especially where there is a bit of a gap between a bigger meet.

 

There is a meet in September at Warwick Caste - plenty of time to arrange a couple before then.

 

Best regards,

Dave
